aftercoast has released a fresh new single, titled "Agave Desert". aftercoast is the genre-blending pop project of Matt Walerstein, formerly of the duo Kingdøms, who crafts emotionally intelligent and colorful, versatile tracks that uplift, inspire, and resonate. Since his recent breakout release “Abundance Love,” aftercoast continues to expand upon his vibrant, eclectic sound with his latest offering “Agave Desert”, a psychedelic summer soundtrack that blends shamanic energy with indie-electronic elegance.
"Agave Desert" opens with lush, psychedelic backing vocals, before dropping into rich grooves consisting of atmospheric synths and pulsating percussion. Overtop, aftercoast delivers smooth, emotive vocals in a soulful tone, which rise throughout dynamic verses into a memorable, ear-worm chorus. Blending elements of indie pop, indie rock, electronic, and more, "Agave Desert" presents a refreshing cohesion of influences that come together for a vivid new song from aftercoast.
Produced by John McLucas, “Agave Desert” conjures the dust-laced dreamscape of Joshua Tree through hypnotic drumwork, ambient guitars, and cathartic chanting. Featuring enticing, energizing instrumentation and potent vocals, this track taps into themes of remembrance, liberation, and ecstatic stillness.
